Image 10 Hammond Turner & Sons This is the very unpromising front of a button dug, with the landowner's permission, at Orchard Knob, Chattanooga, Tennessee. Its backmark features in the backmarks gallery and is very unclear.

Image 11 Royal Artillery This is NOT a Hammond Turner (etc) button: it was made by C J Weldon, London, a company with which HTetc had both business and personal relationships. Charles Weldon was an executor of William Hammond Turner's will: William lived and died in London in the 1850s.

Image 12 Royal Artillery Hammond Turner and Sons - I have included the Weldon button above to facilitate comparison between these two.

Image 13 Royal Navy Pre 1812. Hammond Turner Dickenson. One piece. Dug, in very fine condition.
